Title/Name/Summary
Storage Area Network (SAN), Virtualized Shared Storage System - Purchase Approval
History
Due to the recent legal mandates requiring the preservation and archival of digital evidence and incident data, the police department needs to increase the network storage capacity. By utilizing a Storage Area Network (SAN) Virtualized Storage System, the department will have the capability to dynamically assign additional storage for any server or application (Video, Photo Evidence, In-Car Camera Video Systems, New World System data) focusing the necessary resources and maintaining network efficiency for the future in a fail over environment.
The police department will purchase two (2) Dell EquilLogic PS4210X Storage Area Networks (SAN). One SAN will be installed in the police department server room and one SAN will be installed in the back-up server room located at 14600 S. Ravinia Avenue as part of the fail over, disaster recovery system.
The two (2) Dell EquilLogic PS4210X SANs will be purchased from Dell through the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing program.
On May 18, 2015, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Safety Committee and referred to Village Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The cost of the two (2) Dell EquilLogic PS4210X SANs along with the accessories, warranties and shipping is $45,472.14. The SANs will be purchased from the Fiscal Year 2015 MIS Budget under line item 010-1600-460110.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of two (2) Dell PS4210X Storage Area Networks (SAN) from Dell at a cost not to exceed $45,472.14.
